Re: Intermittant vibration

Update: Today I did some small tests, but couln't do much as my wrist is in pain... BUT...

I did some tests:
Jacked front left:
- There is no feelable left-right or top-bottom play
- Direction slightly move, but seems to be all fine
- Wheel is hard to turn: seems to be brake drag
- While in drive (don't yell at me!) there is nothing to be felt.

Jacked front right:
- There is no feelable left-right or top-bottom play
- Direction seems to move easier, suspecting bad outside tie rod.
- Squicky sound when moving left-right.
- Wheel is easy to turn
- While in drive, at ~35km/h, there was a vibration.

While on the road:
- Turning left is ok.
- Turning right make noise.

Top plates on the coils also have some wear.

So, seems like I have several problems, not just a single one...


So to sum up:
- Seems like I might have a wheel bearing that is starting to go bad (right turn noise)
- Top plates need to be changed
- Possible extenal tie rod
- Dragging brake or bad wheel bearing or both
- Possibly another problem with the right wheel too?

Might cost me alot more than expected to fix all...
